Computerized Identification System
CHAPTER 1
Introduction
A computerized identification system is used to verify the identity of a person. The data is stored in a database of a server. An identification card is a card giving identifying data about a person, as full name, address, age, and color of hair and eyes, and often containing a photograph: for use as identification at a place of employment, school, club, etc. There are various types of identification systems available and implemented across the globe. These are Biometric (finger, hand or iris recognition), Voice Identification, Optical Character Recognition (OCR), Radio-Frequency Identification, and Bar code. Each has its own capabilities but nevertheless, effective for identification purposes.
The bar-coded identification system was proposed to improve the existing identification system of the National College of Business and Arts, Fairview campus. The study is concerned on how the current identification procedures perform in the school grounds and how a bar-coded system may help improve it.
A bar code is a series of alternating dark and light stripes that are read by an optical scanner. The organization and width of the lines is determined by the bar code protocol selected. A barcode system is a network of hardware and software, consisting primarily of mobile computers, printers, handheld scanners, infrastructure, and supporting software. Barcode systems are used to automate data collection where hand recording is neither timely nor cost effective. Bar coding systems are not radio-frequency identification (RFID) systems even though the companies that provide barcode equipment will often also provide RFID equipment and many companies use both technologies as part of larger resource management systems.
There are lots of types of barcode, but the one commonly used all the time is called UPC, the Universal Product Code. Each digit is coded by two black and two white stripes. The stripes have widths of from 1 to 4 units, and the total
